This may be a good hobby for a couple of people with degrees in criminology to get into. No shortage of material here.
Me, I'm seriously thinking of becoming an "at risk youth."

She is not an examiner, she is a founder of the company along with Steve Rocchi.
Too bad

I found the following on the FAQ section of their website:
How can third party authentication companies authenticate so many different autographs? To properly authenticate a signature you must have numerous exemplars to do side by side comparisons. That is why at GFA we only authenticate a limited number of autographs and have experts specialized in these signatures. I guess one of the forensic people over at GFA specializes in the signatures of Nana Visitor & Avery Brooks. The below Avery Brooks/Nana Visitor signed photo is presently on a auction site that I will not name.

I see that their COA "guarantees" that the signature is genuine.
Wonder what that means if it isn't?

Also check out their guarantee. "In the event the purchaser of a GFA authenticated signature believes that the signature is not genuine with respect to GFA standards and procedures, he/she may submit the signature through the GFA “Guarantee Resubmission” service and GFA will submit the signature to an authorized 3rd party forensic authenticator for additional examination" Why does it have to be re-subbed to them, so that they can submit it to their own choice of 3rd party forensic examiner? Who exactly will this 3rd party be? Perhaps Global? |

|
|||
supposedly, they give you your purchase money back, or replace with an authentic item...However, see the process in order to claim the guarantee that I just posted..

The FAQS indicate they send the questioned item to a third party FDE for determination. If found bad, they refund price or replace with similar item.

Their team page lists the founders, the examiners and the investigators(?).
What are the investigators for? And another point, in the real world, forensic examination implies hours of work to examine one document or signature. It also implies much higher rates when compared to what the TPA's charge if a true forensic examination is offered.

After that it is pure signature analysis, and I trust experienced collectors and dealers (and yes, PSA and JSA ) to be more in tune with that than some forensic examiner puffing their credentials with meaningless certificates.

So from the Services page, am I to assume that to authenticate a Joe Dugan index card it will cost me the same as a Babe Ruth index card?

#24

|

Based on the services page, assume that is true.

The problem I have with that is this company is going to need to authenticate a lot of pieces at that rate to stay afloat.

Do you mean her implants look to be about 28? She's easily in her 40's.

Now with a "guarantee" (if it has any teeth) then I can see charging a different price bc the risk assumed is greater financially for an error but with the other companies I can't see why they should charge more for esentially the same service.

I will bet she is an examiner alright. It might have nothing to do with autographs but she examines!! I bet she has examined a many a base-ball.

What equates to a thorough examination? How much time and effort will be spent in making sure an item is authentic? If they spend just two hours on a single signed flat, they're hourly wage just went down to $5.

In all seriousness, it's one thing to comment on the woman's obvious good looks. However, let's not get too nasty... she is someone's wife, mother, daughter...

A couple of posts have already touched on what I was thinking as soon as I saw this: why is it that every authenticator has the word "forensic" somewhere in his title or company name? Is that the buzzword that adds the needed credibility to the enterprise? I've got to be honest here, I don't even know what the word "forensic" means. Is the root "foreskin", or something to that effect?

Did you know that forensic is an anagram of forescin? That's close enough for me.

Perhaps this company is trying to capitalize off of Grey Flannel's name recognition.

Per grayghost's much earlier post, I have no pre-conception or opinion of the company.
It is interesting that just days ago people were bashing PSA/DNA and JSA for not guarantee their opinions, yet here is a company that say it will guarantee things and people are complaining about that too. Let's not just be a board of complainers. Last edited by drc; 01-27-2012 at 12:43 PM. |
